## Resource

With momentum building within the sport for the 24-team Playoff, Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down why things have shifted toward the expanded format. Klatt explains what changes drove the ACC, Big 12 & Notre Dame to join the Big Ten in support of the 24-team model and who is motivated to expand the field beyond the current 12-team setup. He also lays out what dominoes are left to fall if this seismic shift in the sport is to be finalized and why there may be signs that the SEC’s strong opposition to the change may be starting to shift.Use my code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/KLATT10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
